Lasley v. Clem

DOOLIN, Justice.

Prior to her marriage to Ulis Clem, Edna Connell purchased a one-half undivided interest in his home and furnishings. The couple married a few days later and, after a two-day honeymoon, returned to their home. However, on May 21, 1979, Edna left that home, and two days later Ulis filed for divorce. The divorce petition contained a provision wherein Ulis disclaimed any interest in Edna’s separate property. Prior to the granting of the divorce, Edna was fatally injured in an automobile accident on June 13,1979, and Ulis subsequently filed a formal dismissal of the divorce action.
